Go Anywhere is perfect for moving data between systems. It is great for pulling data and emailing it or sending it to another server. However, Go Anywhere is limited as an ETL tool. It is not good for large datasets. When we had to move millions of rows from one server to another, it totally choked.

We have only had to engage bTrade TDXchange’s technical support team a few times, but it has always been a great experience. They are U.S. based and very responsive. We even provided feedback shortly after implementation and they put our recommendation into the next release (or the one after that…I forget exactly).

Implementation Rating
Implementation was straight forward. We paid for 50 hours of professional service in case, we need help. We end using only 10 hours. I have only 1 month to convert over 120 scripts from FTP voyager to goanywhere. Old script was had written using bat files. Some of the batch file were written by some other person, who passed away. Documents for old script was not in details. With the professional service, I was able to convert all script within windows

It literally took a few minutes to install bTrade TDXchange and then with bTrade's documentation we were able to do all the initial setup in under an hour.

Alternatives Considered
I've never used a product that handles file transfers in the way GoAnywhere does. I have used other SFTP servers and this is by far the most robust and easiest to use. I've used FileZilla, Cerberus and Windows for FTP services and this by far is easier to set up and manage than the other options.

So far we only have one instance in Prod and one in DR, however a single instance can handle many files because of it's good design.

Return on Investment
  • With the Secure Mail feature we automated massive secure mail distributions that were previously done by post.
  • By building corporate and EDI frameworks with the Project designer, we reduce the complexity of adding new project to adding a new configuration file to the framework.
  • Simplify security administration by having a single point of entry for process that need file transfers with external partners.
